What Is Mohs Surgery?

Mohs micrographic surgery is a specialized technique used to treat certain skin cancers with the highest cure rates while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible.

When Mohs Surgery Is Used

Mohs surgery is often recommended for skin cancers that are:

  • Aggressive in nature
  • Located on the head, neck, hands, feet, or other sensitive areas
  • Large or recurrent
  • Poorly defined

How Mohs Surgery Works

The cancer is removed in stages, with immediate microscopic examination of each layer. This process continues until all cancer cells are removed, allowing for precise treatment and optimal cosmetic outcomes.
